General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction increased expression of NNMT selectively affects LCMT1 resulting in lower PP2A activation. Decreased LCMT1 expression or SAH concentration decreases endogenous activated PP2A Homo sapiens
metabolism nicotinamide-N-methyltransferase (NNMT, EC 2.1.1.1) outcompetes leucine carboxyl methyl transferase 1 (LCMT1) for methyl transfer from principal methyl donor SAM in biological systems, because NNMT has a higher affinity for SAM as compared to LCMT1. Inhibiting NNMT increases the availability of methyl groups for LCMT1 to methylate protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) resulting in the inhibition of oncogenic serine/threonine kinases (STKs, EC 2.7.11.). Even if there are methylated products in the system by LCMT1, which is a O-methylating enzyme, they can potentially be reversed to unmethylated form due to their reversible nature and availability of demethylases such as PME1. In contrast, N-methylating NNMT enzyme product MNA which is stable and acts as methylation sink further favoring methyl transfer by NNMT compared to LCMT1. The NNMT-PME1-LCMT1 signaling axis is one mechanism by which the activity of the MAPK/Akt pathways are maintained in cancer cells Homo sapiens
